Construction can have unforseen costs, construction loans for rounds of funding can be more expensive over time, rent markets can drop, vacancies in market can increase.Typically entitlement phase of land most risk, followed by development, followed by vacant building turn around, followed by half vacant building, followed by mainly full building with value add component, followed by brand new building with market or below in place rents and everything new with good location.Along that spectrum of course you go from heavy equity upside potential to mainly just the cash flow return and hopefully price appreciation over time.Investors have to decide on the spectrum of their risk assessment to capital over what period of time how they will allocate between all one type of investment or multiple and what percentages.

Buy a townhouse in this development near where I live called Sea Colony:Details: $860k for a comfortable townhouse.Pros:Comfortable place to live for the next few years, and I’d still have liquidity to invest elsewhere.It is still in my current community where all of my friends live, so I would still be where I want to be location-wise.Will get appreciation.Cons:High HOA fees ($660/month) and potential 10k special assessment in the next few years.Likely won’t cash flow after we move, so unsure whether it would make sense to hold.3.
